Anger, Fear, Depression, and Passion: Approaches to Teaching in Selected Academic Novels

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses selected academic novels (Lucky Jim, The History Man, Changing Places, The Professor of Desire, Disgrace, Submission) from the perspective of more recent pedagogic literature (Tompkins, Palmer, Brookfield, Showalter).It focuses on approaches to teaching, roughly dividing them into fear-driven,anger-driven and passion-driven (problems with this typology are noted), both in the relevant literary works and in theoretical literature. The main question is how academic teachers relate to their students and how this affects the teaching/learning process. Special emphasis is placed on problems related to teaching literature.
